Default Loose battery...
Anyone have an issue with their battery being loose when mounted? The windshield washer bottle is in good shape. Seems the new batteries are a bit small.

The flat part is likely cracked and separating from the bottle part. It happened on mine. Remove the whole thing to check, doesn’t take long. Dorman makes a replacement tray with reservoir for $60 new.

There should be no fitment issues with a Group 75 sized battery. If it's loose, that lip on the front part of the tray is likely starting to crack. Very, very common problem.
